The merger will result in a public company with a portfolio of late-stage targeted pain therapeutics. The merger is expected to close in the 3rdQ and the stock will trade under the name of Arcion Therapeutics.After the closing ANSV will own 64% of the combined company. ANSV has a long history of capital losses.The proposed merger creates a synergistic company with a pipeline comprised of late-stage programs that address markets with unmet needs, such as neuropathic pain, moderate-to-severe osteoarthritis and post-operative pain. ANSV's Adlea (capsaicin) for post-operative pain completed two PIIIs last year, and Arcion's ARC-4558 (0.1% topical clonidine gel) is a PIIb for painful diabetic neuropathy.It also has ARC-2022, a topical drug for post-herpetic neuralgia, which is in preclinical development.<g> In spite of its long history of losses, it seems ANSV is worth of keeping on a 'watch list', as it most likely will continue to have very profitable spikes, but don't expect for it to be able to close any of its Nov 2004 DG in the near future.<g> I will keep a temporary 'target' at $1 <g>bigcharts.marketwatch.com Bernard
